Are you new to the world of talent sourcing? Maybe you’ve heard about recruiting tools that can help find candidates online? Maybe you have trouble finding a candidate’s email or cell number in order to reach out?

This book was created as a guide for new Recruiters and Talent Sourcers who want to learn more about the market’s latest recruitment tools, as well as those who want to take their recruitment game to the next level. This book covers both free and licensed products. It does a good job of highlighting important areas of recruiting from finding leads, finding contact info, to automating the outreach, tracking leads, and creating a personal ATS database or talent pipeline.

Recruiting tools are constantly changing and evolving, it’s important that you stay updated with the most recent, effective, and efficient tools on the market. It’s hard to stay updated on the latest tool out there. Our community can sometimes have the shiny tools syndrome. We joke about finding the perfect candidate aka “Purple Squirrel” but I’d say some Sourcers act like squirrels jumping on the latest trend – myself included. The truth is, there is no one tool that will do the job. You will need to have a tool belt of options to perform different tasks within your sourcing role.

Within each section, I’ll show you the best tools across these categories, how to use them effectively, give insider tips for success, and an overall difficulty rating level. I will also include screenshots highlighting each tools functionality. Understanding the Difficulty Rating Each tool will have a rating level based on how difficult it is to use it.

● Beginner: Easy to understand and use without prior knowledge of the tool or space.
● Intermediate: It will take some time to fully understand the tool.
● Advanced: More advanced which will require taking a demo of the tool
